I’m a romantic. I love the idea of being in a loving relationship where, even 20 years down the track, you still feel completely into that person. Where you still enjoy spending time with them, you’d consider them your best friend, even your soul mate. Sure, you have your ups and downs, but essentially the love is still just as strong, just as real as when you first fell in love with each other.
But people say that with time this love fades, and it’s replaced by a different kind of love, security and comfort. The only problem is, what if you don’t want that love to fade? What if you’re looking for, longing for, that ever after love, that whole, consuming love. You know. Like Edward and Bella? Only more real, and less….obsessive. Does it exist at all? Do you know of anyone who has been together for years and are still completely and hopelessly in love with each other? How do they do it? Do you believe in true love? Is it naive to think it’s out there?
I read a comment on mamamia once from a woman who’d been married to the same person for decades, and still felt completely into him. She “still got shivers” whenever she looked at him and still saw him to be the “most beautiful person in the world”. To me this means that love does exist. Is it rare? Are there others out there?
Don’t get me wrong. I love my husband. We complement each other, and we bring a kind of balance to our relationship: grounded, stable and realistic on one side; impulsive, adventurous and ambitious on the other. In the bigger picture we compromise so we can both have what we want. We love each other but aren’t gooey and obsessive about it. But we’re so not romantic. Sadly. I’d like to be more so, but hello, where is the time? It is simply that I am his wife, he is my husband. We are together, we know each other inside out, we are comfortable. It’s certainly no fairytale love. But as I said, does that even exist?
Do you ever look at someone and think “wow, they are soul mates”? Do you even believe in soul mates?

I do believe that true love exists.May be in day to day worry and hurry we don’t get the time to express but if love is true then sometime or the other you will see it just comes out give you the feeling of satisfaction of being yourself.
Hi…
About true everlasting love im a beliver tho im only 17 T.T
Well it must have started when i was 6y old and started school. I can’t remember like when i fell in love exactly i feel like i have always been.. This girl and i became more well known “together” after 4 years when we were 10. It lasted for 3 years. It was the best years of my life. Then she moved with her parents far away. She did not have much choice since she was only 13 at that point. There by it ended. Now four years have passed since we last met and i am still sad and i still feel the same love as i did four years ago. I havent been able to really have a normal social life because of this. I have’nt been in a new relationship since then i haven’t even kissed anyone since we last parted. I felt guilt for a hug that has been ment to be more than a greeting or farwell. I still wouldnt doubt following her in to death. Our bodies is just a shell. I have pictured our ending as our souls being drawn together and blending and at last forming an un-separateable sphere in wich we would rest for ever and never fall apart again.
Now after four years she is back..
We will see each other for the first time in four years in the following week
Thank you~
True love never fade

Hi Mel,
I just wanted to let you know how great I think your blog is – I love reading your wise words and interesting posts! I know I probably told you all this Saturday night… but I am sure it will mean more if I tell you without a champagne in my hand! It would be great to catch up some time and talk about all these fantastic things we have in common!!
Oh, and about the everlasting love? I really think I have found it!
Talk soon,
Nerissa : )
Hi Nerissa! I would love to catch up with you!! I never knew we had so much in common either! I love making new friends who share the same positivity and philosophy in life. It seems that since I started down this path about a year ago all these kinds of people have just been drawn into my life. Now I’m surrounded by loads of positive, happy people and I love it! And your compliment on my blog was just as genuine with a glass of champers in your hand!
By the way, I absolutely LOVE Color Me Katie!!! Thank you for introducing me to this little blog of colour and happiness, it’s adorable!!!
Annnnnd, I thought you might be an everlasting love person. You know how with some people you can just tell? Well I only know of two couples like that, and you and Mark are one of them!!
